To upgrade Fedora 10 to Fedora 11: Fedora 10 must be updated with the latest F10 update version of rpm. rpm -Uvh http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/11/Fedora/x86_64/os/Packages/fedora-release-11-1.noarch.rpm http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/11/Fedora/x86_64/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-11.0.0-2.fc11.noarch.rpm Since Fedora 10’s yum does not understand the new mirror list format you will need to change “/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo” and “/etc/yum.repost.d/fedora-updates.repo” changing the mirror list to be “mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch&#8221; (work around from https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2009-June/msg00783.html yum clean all; yum upgrade I had to remove a few packages to get it to upgrade: [Read More]

So I moved a few month’s ago and I’ve been trying to dig myself out of the mountain of unpacked boxes, while trying to put my computer’s back together I found my old 1.25GHz PPC MacMini. I had put Fedora 10 PPC on it before I moved but found 3rd Party Linux software lacking. I put Mac OS X 10.5 back on it but now I still don’t know what to do with it. [Read More]
